POTUS is 421

Don't Ask, Don't Tell, The President is Fine, He's Not Unwell

We all know that Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. What many do not realize is that Biden may have had his own brush with death just a few days later on July 17. Of course, this story is being kept top secret. July 17 is also the day a story was presented to the public that Biden tested positive for COVID, and although he only had a mild case, he’d be isolating himself.

Truth is way more interesting than fiction these days.

July 16, 2024: Biden was in Las Vegas for some campaign events. Yes, just a few weeks ago he was full-steam-ahead into his Presidential run. Biden arrived in Las Vegas on July 16 and gave a talk on racial justice and equity for the NAACP. The next day, July 17, POTUS visited a local restaurant in downtown Las Vegas for a campaign event. After that, but while still at the restaurant, he gave a short radio interview. That radio interview ended about 1:40 p.m. local time. Next on his docket was a talk at UnidosUS, but Biden never made it.

Intrepid girl reporter and Conservative journalist, Laura Loomer, reported on X that there was a “medical emergency” in Las Vegas that caused the Biden team to jettison Biden’s events midway in the day and seek medical help. Loomer was roundly criticized on X, mainly by the paid Democrat shills who tell us Biden is fit as a fiddle and the greatest statesman since George Washington with a dash of Winston Churchill thrown in.

However, files released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show that Loomer was right. (Here’s a safe bet for 2024—if you hear it from a Conservative source and Democrat operatives say it’s a conspiracy theory, it’s true.)

The recordings are from local police in Las Vegas. They say “POTUS is 421.” That’s not-so-secret code for the President of the United States (POTUS) has a medical emergency (421). The first call from Secret Service to local police was intent on getting POTUS to the nearby Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas. It was likely the nearest facility that could best meet the needs of the moment. Doing this is no easy matter for Secret Service, because they had to deviate from their planned motorcade route and secure a new route to the hospital on-the-fly. They also had to prepare hospital security. They were phoning police about road closures, shutting down intersections, securing the hospital, and all the other necessary steps for an emergency visit.

The Chief Executive Officer of the University Medical Center (UMC) of Southern Nevada, Mason Van Houweling, said the Valley Hospital Medical Center (one of the hospitals he oversees) was alerted at 2:15 p.m. that there was some possible medical issue with POTUS. The Valley Hospital, the UMC, the Secret Service, and law enforcement all worked together to figure out how to get POTUS the care he needed toute-de-suite. According to Van Houweling, the issue was medical in nature rather than trauma or some kind of accident, but he did not say what it was—it may be that he did not know any specifics. The hospital was readied and police had a “lights and sirens” order to make way for the Presidential motorcade, which never happened.

For reasons not entirely clear, Biden was not taken to the Valley Hospital but instead was brought to Air Force 1 around 3:20 p.m. and flown to the East Coast. He disembarked in Dover, Delaware, and was driven to his private home where he stayed for the next several days.

When POTUS was brought to Air Force 1 it was announced he had tested positive for COVID and Karine Jean-Pierre later said there was no medical emergency. In fact, he only had a mild case of COVID. Nothing to see here.

Now if the story is that Biden tested positive for COVID midway through a Las Vegas campaign trip, why was there a rush call to get him to a hospital? We have proof of the 421 call. COVID might well have caused him to cut his trip short, but why get Secret Service to prepare an emergency jaunt to a local hospital? Besides, who tests for COVID in the middle of a busy campaign day? Biden just wrapped a radio interview and was on his way to another event to give a speech, when, suddenly, he tests for COVID? Sound strange.

Once on the Presidential plane, they made good time. The normal time for a flight from Las Vegas to Dover is 4 hours, 45 minutes. POTUS made this trip in 3 hours and 48 minutes. A reporter on the plane from Daily Mail named Emily Goodin said that the plane shook, it was flying so fast.

All that for a mild case of COVID?

Reuters, AP, CBS, and Karine Jean-Pierre all say there was no medical emergency. Just a case of COVID, mild, no big deal. When those guys all agree on something, you can pretty well figure it’s a fiction.

Biden was seen and photographed descending the stairs from Air Force 1 on the evening of July 17. He was not seen again until July 23, but on that day, all he did that day was fly from his home in Delaware back to the White House. His schedule has been skimpy in public appearances ever since. In fact, he dropped out of the Presidential race—a monumental decision with global impact—by text and what appears to be an electronic signature on a letter someone else wrote.

Why are they hiding this? Here are the receipts. It is a fact that Biden was 421 (medical emergency) in Las Vegas, midway through his campaign events on July 17, 2024.

Plans were made to take him to a local hospital, but then scuttled as Air Force 1 made a breakneck flight back home. That’s public record. What we do not know is what kind of medical emergency it was, but the cover story of a mild case of COVID seems far-fetched. There are three reasons why POTUS would not to want to go to the local hospital.

• One is that whatever was wrong with POTUS had to be kept secret—that gets difficult when he makes an emergency visit to a hospital.

• The local hospital lacked the sort of equipment or expertise needed to meet the emergency. Valley Hospital is a well-rated hospital that describes itself as a general medical and surgical facility, so it’s probably not that.

• POTUS did not really need emergency care—this is belied by the “POTUS is 421” tapes but supported by Karine Jeanne-Pierre. So we know that’s not true.

Two more details. Every President travels with a physician and Air Force 1 has a medical suite on board. It’s not a full hospital, but it’s substantially more than a first-aid kit. A President can get some pretty good care in the air. Furthermore, although I cannot prove this, I believe that Biden’s home in Delaware is equipped like a hospital so that he can get care and rejuvenating treatments for the many days he disappears from the White House. I think that’s true because he spends an inordinate amount of time there, there are no visitor logs required so we have no idea who is in and out (doctors, medics, shamans, witch doctors, who knows?), and Biden took a half a million in taxpayer moneys to put a privacy fence around his home so that no one can see who goes there. I would make the case that the Delaware beach house is Biden’s private hospital.

So if Biden was really 421, as the police tapes indicate, and Secret Service scrambled—first to get him to the nearest hospital and next to get him as quickly as possible to his Delaware private medical suite—what was wrong with him?

Seems like a lot of drama for a mild case of COVID.

Medical information is (laughably) considered private in the United States with strict laws to keep this information confidential. You and I are not required to disclose our medical records. The extent to which a POTUS is entitled to medical privacy is a subject of some debate, but the prevailing consensus is that POTUS has medical privacy the same as any citizen.

But medical privacy is not absolute. There are situations where doctors are not just advised but legally obligated to disclose findings about patients, President or not. One is for people who test positive for certain sexually transmitted diseases. If you test positive for HIV, you’ll see just how quickly your medical privacy disappears. Also people who pose a danger to themselves or others must be reported to appropriate authorities. Then in the days of COVID, medical privacy was tossed out the window as people vaccine mandates and mandatory COVID testing was introduced.

But if a person suddenly has a stroke or sudden cardiac arrest, that information is private, even if the victim is POTUS.

So far, courts and attitudes maintain that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) applies to POTUS the same as the rest of us. It might be possible for Congress to make a law that would exempt POTUS from HIPAA and mandate disclosure of his or her relevant medical records, but that seems as remote as a flat income tax rate.

In history, presidents have often concealed medical problems from their constituents. Here are a few examples, but the list is likely longer since some of them probably actually kept their health issues secret.

• Woodrow Wilson had a stroke in 1919 that left him bedridden and needing complete round-the-clock care. His wife took over the White House and his doctor assured the world that Wilson’s mind was fully intact and he was engaged in running the government.

• John F. Kennedy had Addison’s disease (an adrenal dysfunction) and a bad back. By today’s standards, we would say he had opioid use disorder (addiction) and he took too many amphetamines. All of that (like his womanizing) was hidden from the public.

• Abraham Lincoln suffered depression that was kept from the public. This may have been incidental depression, in that two of his children died, his wife was mentally ill, and he felt personally and profoundly responsible for the devastation of the Civil War. But he put on a brave face to the world.

• Lyndon Baines Johnson was a lunatic alcoholic with what alcoholics call “wet brain,” but we never heard much about that till he was six feet under.

• Chester A. Arthur had nephritis, a kidney disease, which eventually took his life while he was in office.

• Grover Cleveland who went on a four-day vacation, during which time he a cancerous tumor removed from his head. You think you have bad vacations!

• Franklin Delano Roosevelt did not exactly conceal his handicaps related to polio, but efforts were made by a cooperative press to minimize photography of him in his wheelchair.

Presidents are generally willing to release COVID information, possibly because COVID is not a thing many people are private about. Most people will overshare their COVID experiences if you show even a sliver of interest. So in one way, Biden is on safe legal ground by not telling us what prompted the 421 call. And he is free to create a dopey cover story like he just suddenly tested for COVID after a radio interview and before his next speech and rushed home.

He could even tell us all of this drama was about a hangnail, and there’s nothing we could do about it except disbelieve him.

But should we know the health of our President? If we can’t get his medical records, I argue that this is the very reason why we American citizens need to keep an eagle eye on our president. We need to see how he speaks, how he engages in debate or conversation, we need to observe how he walks and navigates in crowds and on stairs. We need to assess his energy and vitality and see how he responds to questions. (This is hard since Biden doesn’t take questions.) The many observations of Biden falling down, shaking hands with no one, staring off blankly into space are fair game and prompt many of us to say his health is poor.

That’s fair, too. He can hide behind HIPAA, but we can watch him on video.

Now let’s look at the timeline. Timelines are always fun, which is why investigators rely on them.

• June 27: The Biden-Trump debate on CNN is a debacle for Biden

• July 13: Assassination attempt on Donald Trump

• July 16: Biden heads to Las Vegas for multiple campaign engagements

• July 17: “POTUS is 421” tapes

• July 17: Karine Jean-Pierre says Biden has a mild case of COVID

• July 21: Biden drops out of Presidential race

Isn’t it sort of bizarre that the two top contenders for the 2024 election at the start of July both suffered a potentially life-threatening emergency within four days of each other? You could argue that based on the timeline, something was up. As if Democrats were trying to orchestrate events to propel their candidate into the White House. It sure looks to me like somebody wanted both of the main contenders (Biden and Trump) to be taken out. Or was Biden the emergency exit after the Trump plan failed? With a plan like this, you could almost get a candidate nominated for President without getting a single vote in the primaries … oh, that’s what they actually did!

Of course, this is all just random speculation. And in the days where information is scarce and Presidents can use HIPAA to hide their serious health concerns … it’s all we have.
